I was able to read a couple of your post, Can I asked you a question.
the bike shop your working right now is it a "Cooperative Bike Shop" and are you a member of the cooperative and if it is, then You should really talk to the manager, that you are a part owner of the Bike shop, and you demand for your pay, that is your money you work for it, and as for looking for another bike shop to work, then Think hard, Do you wnat to grow with the Cooperative or not, Wait A minute, I think I am well ahead o this issue, actually I think I have already place the
"cart before the horse" keep us posted on this one please....
have a beer on me
